3 things to consider when choosing hair shampoos

Alongside conditioners, masks and other care products, hair shampoo is one of the most important cosmetics in a salon. It should cleanse the scalp and prepare the client for subsequent treatments. What should you consider when choosing this type of cosmetic?

1. Product ingredients and recommended effects

Conscious hair care begins with knowing what is safe for the scalp and the hair itself. It is important to remember that many products available on the market are advertised as professional, yet they may cause skin irritation or dryness.

High-quality hair shampoos should:

  • be suitable for different hair types – some work better for fine hair, while others are intended for hair prone to frizz. Still others should be used on coloured hair (they may enhance the colour, extend its durability or bring out specific tones);
  • maintain the scalp’s optimal pH level;
  • cleanse the scalp and hair of sebum and other impurities;
  • provide gentle and effective action.

What should these types of shampoos contain? Above all, water, cleansing and foaming substances, and substances derived from natural ingredients, especially plant oils. In some cases, shampoos containing silicones can also be beneficial – they smooth the hair and, when used appropriately, do not cause harm.

2. Opinions about the brand

Every brand has a different story and different customer opinions. Remember this – not every hairdressing shampoo is a product worth having in your salon. Sometimes, ranges described as professional and created for use in salons promising the highest quality do not always work well when used on clients.

Choose well-known and trusted brands such as Wella Professional, Goldwell Dualsenses and Echosline. Most of them have been on the market for many years. Each has dermatologically tested cosmetics in its catalogue that are safe for the skin, so you can confidently choose their hair shampoos.

3. Effectiveness

Every cosmetic you use in the salon should work effectively. Masks should nourish and care for the hair, while shampoos should leave the scalp and hair clean. Cleansing the skin is very important before treatments carried out in the salon. When buying shampoos, check reviews of them. Make sure that the formulas you choose cleanse effectively.

A hairdressing shampoo must have good ingredients, come from a trusted brand and be effective at cleansing the scalp. To find one for your salon, take advantage of the range offered by Trena.pl, a wholesaler of cosmetics for professionals.
